Dream the Ocean Blue

Calming, loving, happy, edifying

     

An amazing album. Though Ms. Yeung's work is reminiscent of artists such as George Winston, she has a unique style of her own. The musical world she creates herein is full of images of peace and comfort; it makes me feel as if I am at home, cosseted in the arms of a loving family. If I were a child, this is what I would want to go to sleep to every night, the last images before sleep being the faint glow of a nightlight on the teddy bear wallpaper just visible over the horizon of my big fluffy pillow.

"Dream the Ocean Blue" is blessed with solid composition and effortless, fluid performance. The sparsely but artfully placed vocals have a soulful quality. The remaining tunes have unvocalized lyrics, but having lyrics one could read with the music (I purchased the CD and have the liner) is an approach I quite enjoyed. Oh and yes, the artwork and design are fabulous.

I feel more settled, more calm after experiencing this beautiful music, which conveys what seems to be the artist's true spirit of love. My only reservation would be its length of nineteen tracks. But then, if I was a kid, I'd be asleep before the fifth track, and come to think of it, there is no track that is dispensable. I am happy to say I have come into possession of a valuable thing. Enjoy...I am.
